implement dex and put this line `multiDexEnabled true` in your build.gradle — Anand Savjani, Apr 06 '17 at 06:23
Open "Gradle console" at the right bottom of IDE, there will be more info concerning the issue. — azizbekian, Apr 06 '17 at 06:24

You are compiling the whole Google play services library:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:8.3.0'

which can cross the 64K reference limit' during compiling..

See this

if u just use some services from the library you can Selectively compiling APIs into your executable

Like:

 compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-maps:8.3.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-plus:8.3.0'
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-location:8.3.0'

I would also suggest to use latest version of play services compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services:10.2.1'

2nd Way

If you really want to use the whole library : Enable Multidex in your application.

in your Gradle:

    android {
    defaultConfig {
        ...
        minSdkVersion 15 
        targetSdkVersion 25
        multiDexEnabled true
    }
    ...
}

dependencies {
  compile 'com.android.support:multidex:1.0.1'
}

in Application class:

 public class MyApplication extends SomeOtherApplication {
  @Override
  protected void attachBaseContext(Context base) {
     super.attachBaseContext(base);
     MultiDex.install(this);
  }
}

Define the application class in manifest:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    package="com.example.myapp">
    <application
            android:name="android.support.multidex.MultiDexApplication" >
        ...
    </application>
</manifest>

Try clean first.

If it does not works, add multiDexEnabled to your build.gradle file.

defaultConfig {
    multiDexEnabled true
}

See this: com.android.build.transform.api.TransformException
